Under Him

I long to dwell under his wings
Under his authority
Under his blessings
Under the glorious wash of his love
I want to sway and dance beneath his gaze
I want to clasp my hands behind his neck
To gaze into his eyes
O’ to fall under the crashing of his mercy.
To feel his love overwhelming me.
His arms lifting me up
Twirling round and round
His laughter falling all around

I long to reside under his watchful eyes
Under his counsel
Under his guidance
Under his awesome wisdom
I want to speak with his approval
I want to walk carefully in his footprints
To step where he has stepped, to walk as he walked
O’ to live out a life as rich as his
To dedicate my all to God
Walking justly, loving mercy
Total and passionate abandon to you
Swells of your compassion everywhere

I long to live under the power of your blood
Under your healing
Under your favour
Under the wash of your scarlet rain
I want to live with power and authority
I want to speak as one redeemed
To live a life that’s unashamed
O’ to live a life marked by mercy and grace
To reside in your power
Acting on behalf of my righteous Lord
To know that love has purchased me
Rejoicing as a desperate prisoner set free.
